Description |
English:
Elizabeth Brodie, wife of the 5th Duke of Gordon, small full length, wearing a white empire waist dress with a plaid of tartan loosely draped over her head and left shoulder, seated in a park (pr with the 5th Duke of Gordon portrait). The tartan appears to be Black Watch (42nd regiment)
